Hi All,

Some advice please - if poss!

I have one server with Exchange 2007 on it. I have a working commerical SSL certificate from RapidSLL which works with Outlook Anywhere and gives me a nice little padlock when I use OWA and says "Ensures the identity of a remote computer" if I go and have a look at the cert. I have port forwarding on our firewall/router and I can access port 443 on the server.

Port 80 is forwarded to another PC within the office, so http://mail.mydomain.com goes somewhere else.

if I go to https://mail.mydomain.com/owa it prompts me for a username/password and once given the correct details I can access OWA.

if I go to https://mail.mydomain.com it prompts me for a username/password and one given I get a holding page I've created, which is in the default website.

I thought, once I've installed the RPC over HTTP it was straight forward to get Outlook 2007 working remotely however for the life of me I can't seem to get it to work.

Any ideas?

Many thanks

Rich

Outlook Anywhere is much easier on Exchange 2007 than with Exchange 2003, if you have setup the server correctly.
That means a SAN/UC certificate, autodiscover functioning, with the autodiscover.domain.com URL pointing to the server. What you do with port 80 is up to you, although if autodiscover.domain.com points to the same IP address then you may get problems.

You need to look at whether autodiscover is working correctly to begin with, and go from there. Outlook 2007 can show you what autodiscover is doing by right clicking on the Outlook icon in the system tray while holding down CTRL.

Simon.
